Dividing and Aggregating Network for Multi-view Action Recognition

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new Dividing and Aggregating Network (DA-Net) for multi-view action recognition. In our DA-Net, we learn view-independent representations shared by all views at lower layers, while we learn one view-specific representation for each view at higher layers. We then train view-specific action classifiers based on the view-specific representation for each view and a view classifier based on the shared representation at lower layers. The view classifier is used to predict how likely each video belongs to each view. Finally, the predicted view probabilities from multiple views are used as the weights when fusing the prediction scores of view-specific action classifiers. We also propose a new approach based on the conditional random field (CRF) formulation to pass message among view-specific representations from different branches to help each other. Comprehensive experiments on two benchmark datasets clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed DA-Net for multi-view action recognition.
